It’s obvious from this section that I am a newbie, and probably way in over my head with this car. Saying that, I’m going to put how many hours it takes to finally get this car driving on the road. The last year I’ve been trying buy one within a tight budget, and a few weeks ago I finally purchased this car. I knew this car needed work….and it seems to be going well.
When I test drove the car…the front calipers where not mounted due to the rims that don’t fit. Also in the middle of the street the bumper fell off. Lastly, the intercooler was held in by one machine screw. The piping was held together with exhaust clamps…and if anyone barely touched the front mount all the piping moved due to how insecure it was. Car also runs very rich.
I have been on the forum numerous times reading threads and looking for cars for sale.. but now I am officially part of the forum. For the rehabilitation of this car I could definitely use the wisdom from the members on the forum.
Enough with the introduction, here is the car I got myself into.
Mods
Small Evo III 16g
Evo III exhaust manifold (can anyone verify this?)
650cc FIC injectors
AEM Fuel Rail
2g intake manifold (can anyone verify this?)
HKS throttle body
2g Short Throw Shifter
Battery Routed to rear
GM MAF with Translator
HKS Blowoff Valve
Tubroback 3†exhaust
ACT XX00
Aftermarket FMIC
No intake, turbo is open
AC Deleted (only compressor)
ABS Deleted
Power Steering Deleted
No Cat in exhaust
